Using Slideshow themes... cropping issue

*When make a slideshow iPhoto '09 automatically crops my photos... how do i fix this?*
*please help!*

This is a quirky problem. There are 39 slideshows most of which are perfectly fine.
I'm exporting in the HD16:9 setting (w/ no sound) since I know it will be used on an HD TV during a party. I will be burning to an HD format.
I've just given up on the one I worked on so long yesterday since cropping those photos destroys much of what I'm aiming for. I've just exported it in Classic mode tho' it will be a jarring contrast to the others. I particularly wanted the Snapshot setting because it fit w/ the whole theme of the party and the movement of the "snapshots" is more interesting than a mere change of photo. But a mixture of portrait and landscape also makes for a more interesting view.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I still have time to make some changes and to burn another disk.

Odd number (pixel) artboard (CS4) crop issue

I have been doing some tests and this is a rather odd issue I seem to be getting and I can't believe this is an Adobe oversight as it's a bit major and must be something I am missing.
I am going to explain exactly what I am doing to simulate this simple test, although please be aware this is appearing in my normal work flow and causing me some headaches.
I create a new RGB 72dpi 1000x1000 pixel artboard.
I draw a blue box 1000x10 pixels exactly at the top of the artboard.
I then export for web (ctrl+alt+shift+s) and select "crop to artboard" and have it set to 100% quality jpeg.
What I have is a big white box with a blue box going from left to right across the top. All is as expected.
Now I drop back to the artboard, select the artboard tool and click on the blue box, this creates a secondry artboard exactly to the dimensions of the blue box.
Again export to web and this time I have just the blue box being displayed. No problems at all.
Right now back to illustrator and I delete my second artboard and increase the size of the blue box to 1000x11 px.
I move the box down half a pixel so it's again back on the top of the box.
I now select the artboard tool and click on the blue box again, I notice that the artboard dimensions and position again exactly matches the blue box.
I click export for web again and again only the blue box is selected, BUT this time I have a 50% (seemingly) transparant pixel line on the top of the blue box, which in JPEG mode makes a light blue line. If I switch to transparant PNG instead of JPEG I have a semi transparant blue line at the top.
If I switch back to the artboard and move the blue box down 0.5 of a pixel and then move the artboard as well it's fine. The artboards although seperate from each other seem to still be taking what is in them relative to everything else. In CS3 if you drew a crop box around an object, no matter where it was on the screen ("artboard") as long as it was in full pixels (as in not 0.5 etc) you didn't get this problem.
Now let me explain why this is a real pain in my work flow: I design websites in Illy. It's effectivly the tool I use to bring all my elements together, I use PS for advanced image editing, Word for writing my text etc and Illy for putting the pages together, formatting the text, creating the graphics etc. Now all this worked fine in CS3 because I could have something 11px high and have it start on a full pixel (as it works in HTML) and just create a crop box for it when I was exporting. It all worked wonderfully. So what I want to know is am I missing some option in Illy that makes it as good as it was? I love the idea of the artboards but this cropping issue seems like a step backwards and is giving me substandard output like I used to get from ImageReady years ago. If I draw a crisp edge, that is what I want comming out the other end.
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Paul

I am going to reply o this if you make a circle and you make an artboard for that page and save it for the web you will crop half a pixel off the bottom and right sides if you increase the art board by a little over one third pixel all will be fine you get the whole circle.
This was happening to you as well but since it was a rectangle you did not notice it, Now to the problem you mention I would say it was related and that why you don't see it until you move it down is related to the problem that is happening at he bottom and you only see it when it is brought into view as you did.
So what can be done about it?
Adjust it manually make notes of the adjustment and write a script to adjust any artwork to accommodate the discrepancy.
As to you disbelief that Adobe would allow this to get by I am with you we all are hence the reason no one else answered we accept this and wait for a fix and by then we will probably never even notice that the save for the web is fixed.
Everyone will be back on this thread with "Hey when they did they fixed this? Huh?
But until then Happy Trails To Us.

Using slideshow with lots of pictures crashes all the time

I am again working on a project with 400 pictures. As I try to get then into the project, the thing just crashes all the time and I have to load back up. Since this has happened to me on many projects, but I do not see others having issues, this implies others do not use slideshow much with lots of pictures. And this time it is a DVD.
Dave

With PPro can you do a transistion to 350 pictures at one time?
Yes, with Automate to Sequence, but there are limitations and qualifications. This would be a good subject to read up on, so that all i's are dotted, and t's are crossed, per the requirements of this function. This will apply a single Transition to all images.
I use Dip-to-Black, Cross-Dissolve and then butt-cuts for 99% of my Transitions. Each is chosen specifically to convey the passage of time, etc.
Can you get PPro do some random pan and zoom on the 350 in a single step?
No. Now, I treat each image as unique, and animate each thusly. If I have one image with a face, I may want to zoom in and pan to the eyes, or the mouth. If I have a group shot, I may want to single out one person's face. Even with advanced AI, no program can possibly know what I, the producer, will want from any picture. I have never used any random pans and zooms, as I have my own ideas of what animation should be applied. That is one reason that I can decide on the exact Scale (size) of each image. In a normal SlideShow, the vast majority of my images will be resized to the exact Frame Size of the Project. I then may have a few, that are larger by a good bit, because I will pan on a zoomed out image. Then, I might have some more, that are in between these sizes. I will do a separate folder for each size of image, and use them accordingly. If I have miscalculated, I just do a resize for that image.
Now, you might want to also look into ProShow Gold, or their Producer program. I am looking at Producer for more "canned" SlideShows, and it looks very good. Have not bought it yet, as PrPro still works well for me, and I still do most of my work by hand and by eye.
Good luck,
Hunt

Slideshow theme "Shatter" cuts off photos

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iPhoto and then eventually export it to iDVD. I'm wanting to use the theme "Shatter" however it is cutting off the photos. It seems all the other ones, except Classic, also cut part of the image. This is for a boy's soccer team. I would like something edgy and Classic is not it. Some of the images are really close so when it crops it cuts off the ball or head and no amount of cropping on my end can fix it. I've cropped images to 3x4 for TV.

Are the photos that are getting cropped portrait oriented? That theme and others are geared to landscape images so any portrait image will be cropped to some degree. Not much you can do about it.
If you're looking for a slideshow with a little snap give PhotoPresenter a try. It has over 25 animated themes many of which will not corp the images. It works seamlessly with iPhoto. You can run it in demo mode to see if it has what you're looking for.
This demo page has example of some of those themes: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

Slideshow Theme missing after install iLife'11

Hello,
I was creating slide show on iPhoto'09 theme for a while. I was exited to install ilife'11. After I install ilife'11, my old slide shows missing and I also realized some theme in iphoto'09 can't be found in iphoto'11. Anyway to load back old themes from iphoto'09.
Any kind advise please.
Thanks.
Merry Christmas.

Well, I do not think the problem has been resolved, the solution I give is if you have a slideshow with some issue already set, clear photos, and places new to use it.
Sorry for my English.

Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

Hello,
I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack). The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom). As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
Thank you

Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table. All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11
Regards.

Use multiple themes in the same project?

I'm making a slideshow in iMovie 09. It consists of approx. 200 pictures. Those 200 pics are then broken down into 5 distinct groups. I've applied the Scrapbook theme to the first 40 pictures. I tried to apply a different theme (Filmstrip) to the next 30 pictures. When I did that, however, it changed the theme for the original 40 pictures to Filmstrip as well.
Am I able to use multiple themes within the same project? I don't think its possible.
Is my solution to make the 5 sections of the slideshow in iMovie 09 using a different theme for each section? I'd export as a movie file and then create the final slideshow that would consist of the 5 movies previously made (each with a different theme).
Thanks in advance. This project is due in 3 weeks.
Martin

This is not possible in iMovie (to use multiple themes).
However, you can do this using your idea of joining multiple movies into one. You can do this with QuickTime Pro, or with MPEG Streamclip. [Here is a video Tutorial by venerable forum member Jon Walker|http://web.me.com/jrwalker4/QuickNotes/MPEGStreamclip/Entries/2008/5/25_Tutorial015.html] which shows the MPEG Streamclip option.

How do use the same crop for multiple images.

I have a number of images that I want to use the same crop on. Instead of go through the whole slow process for each image is there a way to use the same crop for all of the images?
And in iPhoto there was a way to copy the adjustment settings to multiple images, I can't see how to do that in aperture.

Use the "Lift&Stamp" tool:
Crop one image.
Lift the crop using the "Lift" tool.
Select the other images.
Stamp the crop adjustment to all of them.
But caution: By default "Lift" will copy all Metadata tags and all adjustments, but the gps data. If you only want to transfer the cropping rectangle, deselect all lifted items but the crop adjustment before stamping.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

Spark skins, modules and custom themes: linking issues?

I've read some other threads on this topic that were related to the pre-release versions, but I can't get a complete answer get. I also opened an issue in the bug tracker (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-30748), but I'm also posting here, hoping to get some help.
Basically, I have a bunch of skin classes for the standard Spark controls (e.g. s:Button), as well as other skin classes for my custom SkinnableComponent objects. I need to reuse those skins in many projects, so I created a theme: I put in a Flex Library Project all my skin classes, all related graphical assets, and a defaults.css stylesheet that associates each component with its correct skinClass.
Now, in my modular application project, what is the correct method to link this compiled theme SWC? I tried different ways, and found some issue for each one:
In <app>-config.xml, using the <theme> compiler option: this way, modules don't pick up the skinClass correctly (default components use the standard Spark skin, and for custom components I get many skinNotFound errors).. its a pity, I like this method because command-line invocations of MXMLC (build scripts) automatically apply the settings in the config.xml file, while I have to manually keep in sync any additional compiler argument.
In <app>-config.xml, using the <theme> compiler option and add -compiler.isolated-styles=false: seems to work, but not always.. moreover, the option must be put in additional compiler argument, and not in <app>-config.xml, to have effect... I understand that the config.xml file, in a modular application, is only applied to the main application (or that it must replicated with correct name for each module)?
In additional compiler arguments, using the theme+= option.. these arguments should be used also for modules compilation, and this seems the most effective solution at the moment (swf size of compiled modules has slightly increased), but skinNotFound errors still happens sometimes, usually going away after a clean build.. maybe this has something with the incremental build performed by Flash Builder and/or optimization of modules?
Right now, I've tried adding also -keep-all-type-selectors in the compiler arguments to see how it goes...
Is my scenario supported by Flex 4? How should I setup my environment? I read how to create custom themes in the official documentation (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f85.html) and a specific help section exists about using styles with modules (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-799a.html#WSda 78ed3a750d6b8f1b97f82d12508050aa0-8000), but it only cover simple style sheets, no specific information about compiled themes and the suggested linking strategy.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.5.1 and compiling with Flex SDK 4.5.0 (both application and theme), the project use some Halo components (e.g. DateField) but almost all components are Spark, and I use Spark component for <s:Application> and <s:Module>. Modules are optimized for the main application, and are loaded using the ModuleManager.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure Spark components will work if the compatibility mode is set to
3.

Photos look blurry only when using Slideshow

When I select an iPhoto album to view as a slideshow the photos appear blurry during the slideshow. When not using slideshow, when I open individual photos in iPhoto6 they appear blurred for maybe 2 seconds before snapping into sharp. The thumbnails are fine (sharp). But the photos stayed blurred in Slideshow changing from one blurred photo to the next - in other words useless. The photos are jpgs. I have no problems with any blur at all in Photoshop CS2. I assume I have to change some setting but I can't find any reference to this in iPhoto help. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Dave,
On both my G4 and G5, I've encountered the same problem from time to time and here's the workaround that fixed it for me:
Apply a filter to the images. I use the 3-Way Color Corrector since many of the photos could stand a little tweaking for TV anyway. Render them and they should retain their original sharpness.
I have no idea what causes the problem, why it only affects some of the images and not all of them, nor do I know why re-rendering them after applying a filter works ... but it does for me.
-DH
ps: another symptom that this fix takes care of is when you see a small shift (1 or 2 pixels) in the image's position as it comes out of a transition.

Missing slideshow themes in Aperture 3. Help.

I have Aperture 3 on both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro. I began experimenting with slideshows today and discovered that the version of Aperture on my MacBook Pro has more slideshow themes than the version on my MacPro. Does anyone know how that could happen? Both are clean installs and are the same exact version and I keep both machines up to date with Apple Software Update.
At this point I am wondering if there is a way for me to find the themes in Finder and just copy them and put them on my MacPro? OR is there something that I am missing??
The themes on my MacPro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
The themes on my MacBook Pro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
Holiday Mobile
Origami
Photo Mobile
Places
Reflections
Scrapbook
Vintage Prints
If anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Ahh! I was thinking that that may be the case. Thanks!!
I never upgraded iLife on my MacPro because I hated the way the new version dealt with photos in email. Also hated that when I hover an event and found the image I was looking for and double-clicked on it, I would have to re-hunt the image down all over again when it opened the event. The old version of iLife/iPhoto (which I'm still using on my MacPro) highlights the image once the event is opened, making it so easy to find.
Anyway, don't mean to go on about my woes with that. I guess what I would LOVE to do now is be able eo move over the themes from my MBP to My MP. Do you (or anyone) know if the themes are modular and can be copied and used on another machine that does not have iLife 11?
Thanks! Great sleuthing!
Cheers!

Inserted slide don't "Use Destination Theme" even though "Keep Source Formatting" is unchecked

I'm having this issue while using PPT 2013 Office 365.
I'm 99% sure my Slide Master is correct and haven't had this issue before. Why is inserting slides from "Reuse Slides" or simple copy/paste inserting a new slide in the master and it won't Use The Destination Theme.
I don't have Keep Source Formatting Checked. I selected Use Destination Theme.
Any solutions?
Thanks.

There are workarounds that are discussed in the following link. Primarily, by disabling 'preserve master' in the source file and then copying it into the new file by choosing 'keep source formatting' - when a new layout is then applied, the old one disappears
when its no longer in use as the source master is unpreserved.

Firefox continues to have"Not Reponding" issues. Upadated all plug-ins and disables most of them but issue still occurs, often.

Firefox continues to have"Not Responding" issues. Updated all plug-ins and disabled most of them but issue still occurs, OFTEN.

Thank you for your reply,
I know that plugins aren't being outright disabled and that people need to be encouraged to keep up to date, it's just that there's a lopsided amount of focus on them as a security vector from Mozilla.
I must point out however, that javascript security at the moment seems to consist of an on-off switch on almost every browser in existence: there is no obvious way to set "I don't want that site to know where my mouse is for my privacy", "I don't want that site to dynamically load content because it slows my browser" or the sort.
While there is CAPS ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html ) it is not configurable from within the browser (and its existence at all is obfuscated) and considering a lot of javascript is obfuscated to discourage run-time modification (say using web development toolbars) or discourage CAPS usage, there's little way to know what exactly to use CAPS on without reverse engineering. The average user would not be able to do this.
Javascript security needs to be more, much more than an on/off switch.
